Career Advice Blog - July 2013

For those looking to find a job, permanent positions may seem like the way to go, but the rising popularity of contract work in the economy can be as beneficial as a regular position, giving you tools and abilities you might not have expected while allowing you more freedom than a locked-in 9 to 5 would provide.

If you wake up in the morning and have trouble getting yourself excited to go to work, you're not alone. But if you're looking to find a job that can truly ignite your passions, it may be time for you to pursue your options.

Networking is a valuable component for the hiring process of anyone looking for a job, but it can sometimes be imposing from the start. Honing your sights and knowing what you want out of the experience can go a long way.

To build a career and find a job that's right for you as an entry-level professional, starting early and focusing often on your goals should be the way to go. While many stereotypes exist surrounding the fresh-out-of-college, modern worker, you have the ability to break any common misconceptions.

It pays to be careful when sending a resume out to prospective employers. The tiniest mistake, if noticed, could land your resume in the trash or recycling, putting you out of contention even before you've been fairly considered.

While the interview environment can be overwhelming, taking advantage of the questioning period is important to learn not only more about the position itself but to help you stand out and learn more about whether you should or shouldn't take the position.

One occasionally overlooked resource that can make all the difference in a job hunt is the use of social media. With little cost to start a profile on many social media sites, you can use them as an important tool to end up at a job you truly want.
